Sossusvlei Tour - Day 1/3

Day 1 of our Sossusvlei Camping trip in Namibia!
7am pickup and we were taken to the Chameleon Office (our tour company) and had a quick debrief with our tour guide and tour group we were going to be camping with.
We were very fortunate with our camping group and all got on very well. It was only 5 people in total, Amos and I, Dwayne (30yr old from Phillipines), Kon (35 yr old from Hong Kong) and our tour guide Smithly (27 yr old from Namibia) - us all being similar age brackets made the camping trip that much more fun and enjoyable around the fire of an evening!
Our morning was spent pretty much just driving to reach the Namib Naukluft National park, with a few stops along the way to get pictures and toilet breaks and snacks.
We reached our camping ground Sesriem a bit after 2pm and began setting up our tents and camping ground. After a quick lunch and refresh we headed to Elim dune to climb up to watch sunset at the top! This was a great introduction to climbing dunes as it was medium sized. Climbing a sand dune is the definition of one step forward, two slides back … as the sand slides under ur foot each and every step!
Sunset was beautiful, practically had the place to ourselves as well!
Hot pot dinner and into bed we got!
Days like this, there is nothing much more to say other than, God is Good.
2 degree C night, we went to bed with 5 layers of clothing and still was freezing as the wind blew out tents around over nightBaca selengkapnya
